Mastering for and since is all about understanding the difference between a "chunk" of time and a specific "point" in time. They both answer the question "How long?", but they look at the calendar differently. ​⏳ Using "For" (The Duration) ​Use for when you are talking about a period of time (a length or duration). It doesn't matter when the period started or ended; what matters is the total number of minutes, hours, or years. ​Structure: For + Number + Time Unit ​Examples: ​I’ve lived here for 5 years. ​She has been waiting for 20 minutes. ​They’ve been married for a long time. (Note: "A long time" is still a duration!) ​📍 Using "Since" (The Starting Point) ​Use since when you are referring to a specific point in time when an action began. It marks the "start date" and implies the action is still happening or is relevant now. ​Structure: Since + Specific Time/Date/Event ​Examples: ​I’ve lived here since 2021. ​She has been waiting since 8:30 AM. ​They’ve been happy since they met. (Note: An event can be a starting point!)
